How a skinny street kid from Amsterdam reimagined the logic of football and became the mind that shaped modern sport.

Johan Cruyff wasn’t just a great footballer — he was the architect of an entirely new way of seeing the game. In this episode, we explore his autobiography, My Turn, and trace Cruyff’s evolution from the streets of Amsterdam to the genius who reshaped Ajax, Barcelona, and the global language of football. Through improvisation, clarity, rebellion, and radical simplicity, Cruyff created a framework for creativity that still defines the sport today.
